New management is pushing for the overall use of InDesign for marketing collateral and technical documentation at my company. I'm a long time Frame user, producing a set of software documentation ranging from release notes, installation guides, API guides, and a 160-page user guide. All are delivered as PDF files.
I've been asked to figure out whether or not InDesign will fit my documentation needs, and have many questions. * Most importantly: Can InDesign generate good PDF files, with working links? * Is InDesign good for large documents (100-160 pages), with TOCs, and lots of internal and external cross-references? * Can I transfer my existing paragraph and character styles from Frame to InDesign? * Can I import a Frame book into InDesign? Has anyone out there successfully switched from Frame to Indesign? Is this a non-starter for the type of documents I produce? Any advice, thoughts or pointers are greatly appreciated!
